Trial and commitment

Try Egg Academy free by observing a session -- Egg-Xplore is $249 + GST with a full refund before the first two weeks.

Parents often ask if there is a free trial. Egg Academy does not offer a traditional membership trial. Instead we offer free preview options, a clear Starter Course entry path, and a full refund if you cancel within the first two weeks.

Is there a free trial?

There is no free membership trial and no pay-nothing-first Starter Course. What we offer instead is a low-pressure path to decide:

  • Free preview -- see observe a live session. Contact us and we will help you get sorted.
  • Parent conversation -- optional Sign up as Family call with no pressure to enrol.
  • Structured entry -- the Starter Course ($249 + GST, 10 weeks, small facilitated group).
  • Refund safety net -- cancel the Starter Course before the first two weeks for a full refund.
  • Ongoing membership -- Community Access at $40/month (GST inclusive) after Egg-Xplore, if you continue.

Try before you pay (step by step)

  1. Observe for free -- see observe a live session and contact us. We will help your teen watch invisibly if that helps.
  2. Ask us anything -- use live chat on contact us, or sign up as Family.
  3. Enrol in the Starter Course -- if it looks like a fit, sign up as Family. You are not locked into membership yet.
  4. Decide within two weeks -- if it is not working, cancel the Starter Course for a full refund. If it is, finish Egg-Xplore and choose whether to join Community Access.

Anxious or cautious teens

If your teen's first answer is a firm no, or social anxiety makes any group feel risky, see our full guide: help an anxious teen get started. It covers observing invisibly, optional camera, quiet spaces, predictable session rhythm, and what Sign up as Family feels like.

What membership is

Community Access is ongoing weekday peer activity after the Starter Course. Many families preview first, complete Egg-Xplore, then continue into membership when their teen is ready for wider community sessions.
